|---|---|---|---|---|
| body | request body | /comments | The application processes user-supplied rich text via html_sanitize_ex. An attacker can provide a long CSS declaration (e.g., 80KB of 'a' characters followed by '!:') in the 'body' field to trigger a quadratic regular expression complexity vulnerability (CWE-1333), exhausting server CPU resources. | CWE-1333 |
